Abstract

Clastic sedimentary rocks are a unique geological archive, which contain crucial geological information on the sedimentary depositional environment, the tectonic setting, the sedimentary provenance terranes, and the relative palaeo-geographic positions of sedimentary basins and their respective catchments. The broad field of sedimentary provenance analysis integrates a large variety of analytical tools to reconstruct the geological framework of sedimentary rock formation.
